A huge chunk of the 2009 Super Bowl defense for the New Orleans Saints was released on Wednesday when executive Vice President and General Manager Mickey Loomis cut ties with cornerback Jabari Greer, safety Roman Harper and defensive end Will Smith, while announcing they won't re-sign linebacker Jonathan Vilma.

Ironically, it came on the same day that former Saints' defensive coordinator Gregg Williams - the central figure in the NFL's BountyGate scandal - was announced as the new defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams.
